Pesonen Whamboozled

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Lauri Pesonen had his last 12,700 in the middle before the flop and found no less than three callers.

He could potentially quadruple up but it wasn't meant to be. All three opponents checked the {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop and {J-Spades} turn, only for Bjorn Geissert to bet 17,000 on the {8-Diamonds} river. The remaining two players folded and Pesonen and Geissert showed their cards.

Geissert had {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a straight, Pesonen's {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} soon enough landed belly down in the muck. Squadoosh for the Fin.

No Diamond No Problem

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Zachary Korik moved all in for 26,700 from early position and the action folded to Christian Christner, who had the option on the button. The German eventually announced all in and both players in the blinds folded. Christner had the {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} and flipped against the {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} of Korik.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and Korik asked his opponent "You don't havr a diamond there?" to which Christner denied. "That's good," the American said and grabbed the profit.

Marc-Andre Ladouceur Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

As we approached table 6 we just spotted Marc-Andre Ladouceur getting up from the table with a disappointed face. Filippo Lazzaretto later told us what had happened.

Thomas Muehloecker limped in early position and Ladouceur raised to 6,000. Lazzaretto three-bet to 16,000 and after Muehloecker folded, Ladouceur shoved all in for about 57,000. Lazzaretto made the call with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and was up against the Team Online's pocket eights.

Lazzaretto hit a queen and send the Canadian packing.

Chattaway Sent to the Rail

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Georgios Karakousis opened for 5,000 under the gun and received a call from Christopher Andler. Puglia Giampaolo then three-bet to 16,000, and action folded to Billy Chattaway in the big blind. He moved all in for 21,000 total, all three of his opponents called, and the flop came down {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Karakousis was first to act and simply moved all in, which drove the other two players from the hand.

Karakousis: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Chattaway: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Karakousis flopped top pair, which was just enough to pull out in front of Chattaway's fish hooks. Neither the {2-Diamonds} turn nor {K-Clubs} river helped Chattaway, and he made his way to the exit while Karakousis was pushed the pot.

Giguere Gets Value From Vamplew

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a board showing {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} we saw David Vamplew check to his opponent, Martin Fournier Giguere, who bet 42,800. Vamplew, a former EPT London champ, went into the tank for several minutes before the clock was called on him.

After half of his final minute had passed Vamplew made the call and Giguere showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a set. Vamplew mucked and his Canadian opponent raked in the pot.

Kamutzki Kaputtzki

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Heinz Kamutzki was seen putting his jacket on and making his way to the exit. Former table mate Marc Etienne McLaughlin told us what had happened.

The player on the button had about a 100,000 and shoved all in to put the pressure on Kamutzki in the small blind and the player in the big blind. Kamutzki called all in for his last twenty big blinds, the big blind folded.

Kamutzki had {A-}{Q-} and was up against {2-}{2-}. The flop brought a {2-} and Kamutzki failed to improve on the turn and river.

November Niner McLaughlin plays around 80,000 himself.

"I'm a Luck Box But You're Kitty Kuo"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Stefano Terziani opened for 4,500 from middle position and EPT Grand Final runner-up Jack Salter called. Kitty Kuo then moved all in for 19,800 from the hijack, and action folded back to Terziani, who took his time before calling.

"I guess I'm all in," Salter said. Terziani didn't seem too happy and folded what he claimed to be nines.

Kuo: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Salter: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

"I am 45%," Kuo said optimistically.

"I'm a luck box, but you're Kitty Kuo," Salter responded.

Kuo was in need of some help, and while she didn't find it on the {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, she did when the {Q-Hearts} spiked on the turn.

"Sorry Jack," Kuo offered after the {10-Diamonds} river secured her double.

"Happy to pay you off," Salter said before sending over some chips.
